Selkies is an open-source low-latency, GPU/CPU-accelerated Linux remote desktop and game streaming platform that delivers an HTML5 web client over WebSockets (with opt-in WebRTC). It is designed for self-hosting on desktops, containers, Kubernetes, and Cloud/HPC environments, with clipboard, gamepad, and microphone/webcam forwarding.
Use cases
- stream a linux desktop to a browser with low latency
- cloud gaming on a gpu linux server
- give browser-based remote desktop access to kubernetes pods
- stream gpu-accelerated 3d apps to researchers over html5
- replace vnc with a faster web-based remote desktop
- run remote desktop sessions in jupyter or coder workspaces
- self-host a geforce-now-like streaming service on linux
When to choose
- you need browser-based remote desktop streaming on linux with GPU acceleration
- you deploy desktops in containers, Kubernetes, or HPC/SLURM clusters
- you want cloud-gaming-grade latency and 60fps Full HD streaming
- you need clipboard, gamepad, or audio/webcam forwarding in the browser
When to avoid
- you need to remote into Windows or macOS hosts
- you need a full turnkey remote desktop solution with display server included
- you require native client applications rather than a browser interface
